Republican Voted Against Legalizing Pot, Gets Busted With Pot In Car

New York Assemblyman Steve Katz is the Putnam County politician who just last year voted down a bill to legalize medical marijuana in New York. Now fast forward to yesterday at 10 a.m., when Katz was pulled over for doing 80 in a 65 on I-87. The officer who pulled Katz over reportedly smelled pot in the car, at which point he discovered that Katz had a small bag of weed in his possession.

It’s too bad Katz, who is a Republican, is so anti-marijuana in his professional life, because he sounds like he’d be a blast to smoke a joint with.
